Bowie‘s Books by John O‘Connell ⚡️10 of 100

3 Stars • Money: A Suicide Note by Martin Amis (1984) is a satirical novel about John Self, a hedonistic British ad director chasing a film deal between London and New York. His life of excess—booze, drugs, sex, and consumerism—unravels amid betrayals and a mysterious stalker, Frank. ⬇️

suvata Narrated in Self‘s brash voice, the book skewers 1980s materialism with dark humor and metafictional twists, including a character named Martin Amis, exposing Self‘s self-destructive pursuit of wealth.

Loved the premise of this book, but thought it could have been more. A pick, but a low pick.

AmyG Same. I was hoping for more, too. 1mo
Bookwormjillk @AmyG I think I might have liked it more if I wasn‘t going in with such high expectations. 1mo
AmyG Same again. I absolutely loved Leave the World Behind…so I was very excited for this one. 1mo
BarbaraBB I felt this way about Leave the World Behind so am in no hurry to read this one. 1mo

book buying ban accountability post
Why?
1)I keep buying physical books & have no real time to read them because I have a small baby
2)I need money (again, baby)
3)I have so many kindle books from either stuff your kindle days or prime reading first look
4)I some how preordered 3 books that come out June 10
5)my libby loans & holds are completely full & I need to not be distracted from those too

💰Goal: no book hauls until 7/29

5feet.of.fury I‘m 40, but it seemed fitting lmao 2mo

Ruthiella Good luck! It is a struggle. I have to gamify it to make it work for me. 😅 2mo
5feet.of.fury @Ruthiella I usually pull a stack of books & watch it dwindle down but the amount of reading I‘ve been doing has varied so much month to month I figured a time limit was easier. What‘s your system? 2mo
Ruthiella @5feet.of.fury I‘m trying to allow two books in for every physical book from my shelves. If I do challenges like #Roll100 or #OffMyShelf I try to complete them with mostly owned books. Instead of watching a pile dwindle, I‘m keeping the pile of finished books, watching it get higher. 2mo
K.Wielechowski Good luck! I did a 3 month book buy ban January-March of this year. Didn‘t do too terribly but the number of books I bought in April kind of made the ban pointless 😅 2mo
5feet.of.fury @K.Wielechowski oh I‘m pretty sure that will happen here too 😂 2mo

Got this book from my dad at Christmas, he got it from an estate sale for a couple bucks. Well Jan 8 Bella was probably mad she couldn‘t read it so she tore it up good. I‘ve set it aside for months and just now finished reading it. I recommend this book to young adults starting out their life. It‘s informative and resourceful financially, and they‘ll finish ahead on the wealthier side.

I‘ll admit I almost gave up half way through this but I did make it to the end. Not a bad book. She admits that a lot was made possible cause of the priv they have which is a breathe of fresh air.
